**Background**
\\
I took my Master of science in mechanical engineering at KTH, Stockholm, 4 years ago. In my graduate thesis 
I were evaluating a new type of wood I-beam that was made of gluelam in the flanges and cross laminated wood in the joist. There after I began working as a structural engineer at Tyrens Byggkonsult (http://www.tyrens.se) located in Stockholm, after two years of working I were offered to start studying as a part time Ph.D student at LTU, Luleă.

**Research project**
\\
My research project is called "[[patrik:Technical platform]]" And it is a modular approach for the building industry were the flexibility is meet by configuration of modular components. You can read more about it by clicking the link.

\\
**Current work**
\\
Currently I'm working in a research and development project of tall buildings with the structural framework made of wood. Here I'm trying to adapt Cad-solutions like Solid Works were the parametric design and re-use of components can be done. Besides this I'm evaluating a small house industry companies product model and the flexibility of customization that can be meet.

**Besides work**
\\
I am a big fan of old wooden boats and are now working on renovating a boat from 1911, design by a famous constructor named "Carl Gustav Pettersson, CGP" see picture 1 below. Besides this I'm fond of Sailing (both in air and sea;-)), carpentry and traveling.
